I can't afford a nice FS and wondered if anyone had anything to advise. Used FS off Craigslist? I'm in the 600+- range.
At this price point, I'd buy the best 29er or 27.5+ hardtail I could find.
Lightly used, or a "leftover", nicely priced new 2017 model right now might be the call.
I'm lightly sponsored by Trek, but at your budget level, I'd encourage you to emphasize components, and ignore brand names.
Have fun building trails. Put twice as many corners in as you think you need!
